My thoughts go out to Tulsi Gabbard and her family, as her husband battles this serious health problem. I hope and pray that he makes a speedy and full recovery. While the circumstances around her departure are deserving of our sympathy, let’s be clear: Tulsi Gabbard’s only positive contribution to our nation's national security is her resignation. She politicized intelligence. She dismantled critical agencies keeping Americans safe. She weaponized the IC to pursue baseless election fraud claims. And more. We must ensure that her tenure — marked by a devotion to the person of the president and not to the security of the country — represents a terrible exception at DNI and not the new normal.

@Camp4 robbed of my identity / world keeps turning - well said. 7 weeks into a broken foot and i totally relate.

I’m getting a small taste of this right now. Surgery has me on the sideline—I’m temporarily robbed of my identity. But the world keeps turning without me. It’s humbling. But also liberating. I have friends who don’t take vacations because they think their business can’t survive without them. The truth is most CEOs could disappear tomorrow and their companies would be just fine. In a year, they’d be mostly forgotten. You’re important to your family—and for the most part, it stops there. Live your life accordingly.

@GuruAnaerobic the worst are cross fitters. we had an issue at our weekly track sesh where an entitle cross fitter ran in the opposite direction, slowly of course.

There's a track etiquette - lanes 1 & 2 are left clear for athletes who are doing proper fast training. Some tracks have notices on the track saying as much. The majority don't. Did my brain in when slow joggers and people with kids were in the inside lanes.

@nonregemesse whoever said do james bond in the style of mad men set in the 60s is right.

I’d have fired Villeneuve on the spot if I was the Amazon executive this was pitched to

@HussainIbarra you can’t sprint for 4 minutes. no human can. no human can sprint even 1 minute.

How To Sprint (the 4x4 Protocol) • Start with a short warmup (5-10 minutes) • Do 4 minutes of sprints (85%-95% of your max heart rate) • Rest for 3 minutes (walking) • Repeat 4 times This protocol takes ~30 minutes to complete.

3 scientific predictors of how long you'll live (& most people have no idea about it): 1. Sprinting

@mralexthomas and then ruined it all with his excitement to “screw your freedom”. the most unamerican comment possible.

Reading Arnold's book this morning. Sat with this line for 10 minutes. "That's the difference between living and existing." He's talking about excitement. His definition of being alive is having excitement always. Not balance, not "optimisation" EXCITEMENT Excited for your morning walk Excited for that first coffee and crossaint Excited to flirt with your girl in the kitchen Excited to build the thing only you can build Excited to slam some heavy weights around Excited just to be here on a Sunday This should be the default setting, nothing less. The lads waiting to earn the right to feel like that have the order backwards. The excitement is the cause. The body, the money, the brand, the brotherhood. All of it follows the man who's already lit up Arnold lived three lives in one because every part of his day excited him. Bodybuilding, movies, politics, real estate. All of it was his hobby. He didn't have to grind through it. He just had to fit it all in. Life doesn't need to be perfect, but it needs to feel electric in your bones.

@tiga_style 100% well said. Man in the Arena.

I don’t usually like highlighting comments or putting people on the spot, but this stuff bothers me. People have this idea that if you’re not “elite,” then caring about training, details, or nuance doesn’t matter. But that’s the entire point. It does matter because the thing you’re trying to get better at MATTERS TO YOU. Certainly it can become detrimental when the details steal the joy, make you obsessive, or ultimately stops you from actually doing the work. But caring deeply about something, regardless of level, is not cringe. It’s a HUGE part of what drives the human condition. Don’t ever be deterred from caring about your goals.

@RyanHoliday Is Art of the Deal on there? 😂

@vrexec adjusting annually for inflation? 😂

There should be one of those CEO or founders clubs where you can only be a member if you have at least $1 million in net worth… but a maximum of $5 million net worth. You are kicked out of the club once your net worth goes above that range. The club should actively discourage people with that level of wealth from dithering around in a club instead of enjoying the world and all it has to offer.

How To Read Like A Pro (Rules For Reading)

@MattWalshBlog We’ve been automating non-stop since 1793 - there has always been pushback and there have always been new and ever increasing ways to work.

Big Tech companies are sprinting forward, building data centers as fast as they can, sometimes using eminent domain to seize the land by force, making their AI more and more powerful, expanding the technology at lightening speed with no guardrails of any kind at all. Yet none of these tech gurus or any of their apologists have even attempted to explain what exactly all of the millions of people who lose their jobs, and the increasing numbers who lose their homes, all sacrificed on the AI altar, are supposed to do. How does society support millions of unemployed and displaced people? What becomes of a society where algorithms and machines do everything, and a few people become trillionaires while millions more lose everything? There is no answer to any of this. They aren’t even attempting to answer it. Instead we’re simply told that China exists and we have to “beat them” in some unspecified way, in order to achieve some unspecified goal. We’re going to obliterate entire industries, entire categories of jobs all at once, and the only justification anyone can give is “China.” It’s madness.

@Camp4 hopefully we can wish happy 5.14 one day. i always thought it was out of reach for me. but after a recent 12 week structured training cycle and spartan diet i think its in reach.

Today is 5/13. For rock climbers, 5.13 is a special number. It’s where elite-level climbing begins. This is me sending my first 5.13 — at the age of 50. Bragging rights aside, 5.13 is also a uniquely good benchmark for all-around fitness. Here’s the thing: You can be a good runner or cyclist and still be unfit. In fact, imbalance is rewarded. Ryan Hall said he was the least healthy he’d ever been when he became the first American to break one hour in the half marathon. Likewise, you can lift big numbers and look ripped but still be unfit. But if you can climb 5.13, you are by definition fit because it demands: —Strength —Endurance —Power —Coordination —Mobility —Balance It’s the reason highly varied, functional sports like climbing, surfing, and jiu-jitsu are the best way to get fit. You can try to train all that stuff in a gym… or you can pursue mastery in a sport. The latter is way more fun. Happy 5/13 to those who celebrate.

@InvestmentBook1 5 types of wealth was disappointing as a middle aged person. i’d suggest it to a 16-25 year old.

Bill Ackman went on a fishing trip in the Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. His guide was so impressive that Ackman offered him a job at Pershing Square — one of the world's most powerful hedge funds. The only condition: read 12 books before your first day. Here are those 12 books. And why Ackman swears by them. 🧵

@BlindMike_ the draft has been mandatory for a long time

A terrifically idiotic moment between Don Lemon & Chelsea Handler. Tony Hinchcliffe & Shane Gillis were two of the few people to turn down the Riyadh money, so none of this made sense.

@chrishume_ Rocky IV !!!!!!

Must watch American movies before the 250th: The Patriot Saving Private Ryan Remember the Titans Top Gun Independence Day American Sniper Lone Survivor Ford v Ferrari Miracle What did i miss?

@chrishume_ i know it’s not a movie but John Adams miniseries should be mandatory.

@TheEXECUTlONER_ they merged too soon. should have used the zipper method. more importantly, there will be someone looking at their phone and not paying attention. you can merge in front of one of these assholes. that reduces the overall congestion and speeds up flow.

This guy is using the left hand lane , which is open. There is a mile long backup and everyone is over in the right hand lane. He drives all the way up until he has to merge. Some people are saying what a jerk he is for not getting in line like everyone else, but a great many people are saying that the cars in the right lane merged into one lane too soon and that if they had used the left lane, instead of being a mile backup it would have been a half a mile backup. What’s your take? Do you think he was correct in using the left lane and merging up at the front or should he have merged right and got in line way in the back like everyone else?

@antibearthesis small and mid caps

This market feels completely uninvestable - S&P at ATHs - Gold at ATHs - Housing is fucked - Bonds are useless - Dollar is melting Every asset looks overpriced WHERE DO YOU EVEN PUT YOUR MONEY?

@ThinkAppraiser dell sells the pick and shovels and has been completely ignored in the AI mania

What is going on….?

@unusual_whales terrible product, terrible company

"Whirlpool has paid a dividend through 10 U.S. recessions and every global crisis since the 1950s. But the American manufacturer’s cash crunch has gotten so severe that it is suspending that payment until further notice," per WSJ
